Came into the match during the second set to see Haas shanking backhands while his first serve was on a walkabout.

He seemed to let the rest of it go to Ferrer, who kept the ball deep and grinded away.

To start the third, Haas came out firing, especially with the backhand, but it did not last long. The two traded tons of breaks until Ferrer tightened it up on his own serve. Haas continued to play like crap. He completely came apart.

At the end of Federer's first round match at the Australian Open a fawning interviewer asked about his kids and if he had bought coach Stefan Edberg a birthday present - no, by the way, the privilege of knocking up with 'King Roger' was enough of a present apparently.
